I guess there is a struggle between the NCBA and R-Calf as to who the beef industry should cater to. The NCBA looks at the entire beef industry, including imports and large corporate interest while R-Calf looks out for US beef producers. Troy Marshall seems to think NCBA is totaly correct. The...

I like it.

You know that the story goes that two indian brothers had a spat and parted ways to start their own tribes. They formed the Nacogdoches and the Natchitoches tribes. Each of the cities are the oldest in their respective states. Nacogdoches in Texas and Natchitoches in the Louisiana Purchase. I...

The dairy farmers sell their milk by the pound. The current price for class III milk to make cheese is about $18.92 per hundred weight. An average dairy cow in Wisconsin will produce about 18,000 pounds of milk per year. Some will produce as much as 30,000 lbs. or more. If you do the math on a...

I am a middle of the roader. I don't vote party. But I do realize our tax system is not repersentative of our wealth. The top One percent of the highest income earners pay 34% of this nations tax bill. That is a big burgen on so few. I am not suggesting we reduce that burgen, I am only...

R-Calf is a producer organization that repersents the smaller non-production ag. people. It is offen at odds with the corportate run ag. such as the NCBA which is the larger beef organization. For example, R-Calf is for COOL and NCBA is against it. I think they both have good ideas and justified...

Richard Clerk was a member of the Clention adminstration in the security section and was held over by Bush while the transission took place. He did not make up the story, his book had to be approved by the Bush administration as true before it was released. He was on the Jim Leir News Hour on...

Here in Wisconsin the local people are keeping Walmart out of the area through zoning. They want to protect the local stores and business. When Walmart pays a poor wage they know the govwerment will make up the difference. As tax payers, how do you like helping Walmart pay their employees? I...

I think when the Animal ID program is up and running COOL will be a easy sell.

This is called BRANDING. The NCBA is calling for Choice for the packers instead of Country of Orgin Labeling (COOL). COOL is, at the very least, an alternative to the BRANDING program promoted by the BIG Corporations. The Cattle producers will not maintain the revered place in history by...

There is a great deal of suggestion that the beef industry should "speek with one voice". Here are my thoughts on this subject. When the National Cattleman's Association (NCA) reorganized to form the National Cattleman's Beef Association (NCBA), new segments were introduced to the association...
